[QUOTE="rjrettig, post: 1272252, member: 19858"] Living in Minnesota, the time has come to part the bike. I took it for one final ride this morning (temps in the low 20s) to warm the engine oil so I could then change it and park the bike for its hibernation period and period of PMS (Parked Motorcycle Syndrome). This year I have ridden 17,005 miles - a personal best for me! The majority of it was on my 2014 ES FJR that I purchased late last fall (and I love it!). I only had 196 miles on 196 miles on it before it got parked last fall. I also put a few miles on 2006 FJR this spring before it was sold. 8,400 of the miles came from a west coast trip I did. I was on the road 18 days. Some of the highlights from the trip included Mt. Rainier, Mt. St. Helen's, Crater lake, Oregon/California coast, Sierra Nevada Mountains, and Death Valley. The remainder of the miles were mostly commuting to work (23 miles each way) and a few short afternoon rides, and general getting around. We had a great riding season for Minnesota. I put on over 1,000 in March which is very unusual and I am just now parking the bike on Nov 22. Now it is time to do final maintenance on the bike and then put it to rest. What a great year it has been! [/QUOTE]
